How To Get Social Media Sites To Link To You
Using social bookmarking or social media websites is a relatively easy way to get traffic to your website. These resources can be used very successfully to not only help your website with getting direct traffic from these sites, but also help with getting your website into the search engines for the keywords you're going after.
The first thing to do is to compose your article, your blog post, or your web page. You can use any number of free websites to create your content. This is the first thing that needs to happen before you'll get the benefits of social networking for your site specifically. You can always start with other people's websites or web pages, but typically you'll get the most benefit by doing some of both.
There's a site you can use called socialmarker.com which will help you get started with social bookmarking. What this site does is allow you to quickly bookmark one article or blog entry on multiple sites. It frames each of the "add bookmark" pages then allows you to click and drag the same description, URL, and tags into each of the bookmarking sites. The first time you go to this site, if you haven't already, you'll need to add new accounts for the bookmarking sites you'd like to use.
The first thing you'll add is a title. This title should not only include the blog post title or article title, but should also include the main primary keyword phrase that you're trying to use to get rankings. If you can start with this as your title, you'll have a better chance of getting ranked for those keywords.
When you bookmark your site, you'll also be prompted with a description that you'll want to include which should have in it your keyword phrases as well. This description should also be a strong call to action. People will often read or scan this description and make their decision on whether they click through or not. These social bookmarking sites are still another click away from your website.
The url or web address that you're prompted for should be relatively self-explanetory. In any case, you need to make sure that you're using the web address of the exact blog post instead of just the main domain name of the website.
Tags are also important because they are what you'll use to get the individual "tag" pages ranked. These tag pages, especially using the long tail keywords or keyword phrases with little competition. This means that you can leverage the search engines to the point where you get not only your blog post ranked, but possibly several of your individual bookmark pages ranked including the tag pages.
These techniques are good ways to get rankings in the search engines. Obviously there are some things that make getting ranked in the search engines very valuable and if you can not only get your main website ranked, but get several of these secondary pages ranked that will ultimately allow you to dominate the search engines.
